I thought I did do a DIY. I can't remember now.

I tried to have it done on both sides, but I fried the MICU. It was fun replacing that little fuckin' piece of electronics.

Ugggggh. Some news.

1) wow my credit score! hot damn!
2) wow what the bank approved me for!
3) the seller has a 20k lien on the car
4) someone from Miami (J...?? :o) paypaled him $500 to hold it until Saturday. Which is TOTAL bullshit because I KNOW I was dealing with him at least three days before that happened. But money talks right? With how shitty this guy has been at communicating I wouldn't have given him a deposit no matter what anyway.

So either dude goes and the car is good and he buys it...or the car isn't good and he doesn't. I'm kinda effed either way.

I doubt Miami guy won't buy the car. So I guess I might as well forget about it.

Curious why you wouldn't have done a paypal deposit to him immediately when you saw that things checked out.

Did your buddy drive the car yesterday?

I paypal'd JJH $500 and paid the paypal fee just to cover my butt for a deposit...

You know JJH. He's a member here. He has friends. This guy is a mystery with an ethnic name and a very poor communicator. CPA that can barely structure sentences. The deal felt TOO GOOD to be true to begin with. All the other stuff made me weary.

My buddy didn't drive it last night. When I called after work to get an address of where to meet the guy never picked up. Texted him around 8, nothing. Woke up to an email saying he took a deposit last night but that he'd call me on lunch.

Meh, paypal is safe.
But for all the reasons you mentioned, I wouldn't have either.
The whole i'll get back to you monday with something as simple as what trim level is the car and what add ons already turned me off for you.

no response to go check it out is a red flag...maybe he is a liar. maybe it's a scam. the ctsv guy i was dealing with was ethic, checked out online...was a dr...

felt similar too me...too good to be true.


alright, back to the mustang!

I told him on the phone an hour ago to send me certain pics of the car. He did.

The thing is that he told me how much he still owes on the car and that he NEEDS it gone. Big mistake. If this Miami buyer doesn't show up and he calls me... I have him by the BALLS.

I dunno...the whole thing is giving me a headache.

Alejandro Kaba! Someone google image searched.

he did more than that, remember he vetted him for you through his friend.

if he knows you're serious, why is he still fishing, unless he's trying to set it up to hold firm on his price with a fake miami buyer.

Yes with the pics he just sent (a post-it with Chad on it next to the VIN) I believe the car is legit. I believe Carfax and Audi. But dealing with a liened vehicle long distance...

I'm telling you the truth. You guys in better areas probably have far more expensive homes. It's just square footage is cheap here and our house is too big for two people.

Ok Ill just stop talking. Lol

There are two of us here now saying "watch the fuck out". Only cul0 keeps pushing you towards it, and what does he care, it's not his money. Buy, buy, buy!!

There are enough warning bells going off. Not outright red signals, but plenty of cautionary yellows. It's one thing if this was in your city. But it's not.

I legitimately want you to get a nice car and have a great experience. I'm not trying to turn you off this car just because. I just think this is a bad scenario.

This guy is desperate to sell yet can't reply or provide decent info or look into the fucking car he's trying to sell? I understand if he's not an enthusiast, but shit, when I want something to sell quickly, I do my damn best to have everything or be as reasonably accommodating as possible. It's in my best interests
